Data science requirements: Honors statistics requirements: Notes: Essentially, all the "additional math courses" demanded by the Honors Statistics program here―altogether 7 in total, out of which 4 must be 300- or 400-level―will have to become specific CS courses as required by the Data Science program above―specifically, "all of CS 240/241/245/246/251/341/348/350/451", altogether 9 in total. As a result, Honors Statistics students will have a minimum of 26 math courses, whereas Data Science students will have a minimum of 28. Data science program sheet: |
